Flicking the flight switch

THE tower at Edinburgh Airport has been lit up in dazzling violet ahead of a rebranding.

Airport chiefs have hinted that the colour change may be a glimpse into what will be unveiled tomorrow when the rebrand is revealed to the public.

“We changed the colour on the tower as a little teaser for the public, and also because it’s coming up to Christmas,” said airport spokesman Gordon Robertson.

“We wanted to build up anticipation and excitement about the changes that are being made. The rebrand is needed, we’ve been working very hard in the six months since it was purchased by new owners and we’re all very excited.”
